CVE-2024-49114

SYSTEM privilege escalation via missing synchronization

Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026

Missing synchronization in Microsoft Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter Driver allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges through a race. Microsoft identifies the component and weakness but has not disclosed the shared resource, code path, or unsynchronized operation involved. Exploitation requires low-privileged code execution on an affected host and yields SYSTEM-level control.
